George Bush's Secret War
This satire from Michael Kinsley sums up rather nicely just how ludicrous it is that the ads and assertions of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth are being treated like one side of a two-sided debate where the facts are unclear. As many newspapers have now pointed out editorially, the group differs from all the other 527 groups that George W. Bush so loathes because, in addition to making personal attacks on someone's record, it does so using lies rather than uncomfortable truths. At least the Republican convention will distract people from this whole sordid affair; hopefully by the time Bush accepts the nomination the focus will be back on the issues. This election is too important to fritter it away dealing with time-wasting smears.
